808 Car Keys Micro Camera Review

I have a #3 but recently purchased a #8 from Meritline. I was unable to set the time with the utility or any of the tag.txt files. I don't remember what section of your site had that, but there was a "new" camera that seemed like a #8 and the user was unable to set the time and the following might be useful.

I have found this works:

[Date]

2011 12 13

13 19 00

And it looks like depending on what follows the time like +, y, or n type thing it changes the files to be capitalized or lower case. Do we have any info about different input options?

Photos of inside:

And the video is yellow text no background. The drivers on the website eiken ones? Do function as terrible webcam in XP. It crashes often, I have had to reset it several times and it often has issues being recognized on my win7 half the time imaging device other times a on and off mass storage. Whatever the case is, I often have to reset it. The only plus is this camera was cheap and came in a nice little box. The camera is at a slight tilt due to ribbon cable, if the camera opening was 1/2mm over the ribbon would not be under tension causing the image to be rotated.

More comments from another user:

I bought the camera from seller ego-2010 (listing:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=260900576286&view=all&tid=879165843016 ; http://www.ebay.com/itm/260900576286 ).

It seems to be the same version you describe in post "111201 - Another Different 808" - timestamp font is the same. Almost half of the video frames are duplicate, even when pointing directly at a light source. The camera has to be turned on while connecting to a computer, it won't serve as USB mass storage device otherwise. The files are stored in the DCIM/100MEDIA directory and named ECAM####.(JPG|AVI).

I uploaded a sample photo and video for you, so you can get more information from the files. I'll be happy to provide more information for you to put on the site.

I also uploaded the manual that came with the camera. The translation is pretty rough, maybe the chinese version makes more sense (I can't read chinese :-) ). The instructions for setting date/time don't work, although the tag.txt file is deleted from the card. I tried almost all the formats from your site but with no success.

111201 - Another Different 808
111223 - This will be version #14 and there will be a #14 page, next week. James says: ● the mass storage device hardware ID: 04FC 0171 (same as the #3) ● the webcam device ID: 04FC 1628 ● the webcam driver for the SPCA1528 (808 #3) works with this camera . Not sure about this, need confirmation. Mel has these comments: ● The font of the time-stamps for this variant are inconsistent. The fonts used for PHOTOS (.jpg) seem similar to the older #3 --- and #9 --- and some other varieties. This is a yellow, no-background font. The font used for VIDEOs (.avi) is a shorter fatter yellow font --- not the same as the one used in JPG-files. This font is the same as pictured via "Ger" on your web-page. ● One user has noted that he must power-on his unit prior his USB-attachment. (?) MY unit does not exhibit this behavior. I always leave my 808 "OFF" when connecting. During connection, it will automatically power-on... so that I then have full access to unit. I can drag-and-drop to and from the memory-card. I can also view the imagery of video or photo files directly from the memory-card. (I'm puzzled by that user's MANUAL power-on observation) 111220 - I will be assigning a version number to this camera next week. More people are receiving this camera.

111205 - Ger in Spain sent me some AVI and JPG samples, and photos inside the camera. Although the JPG EXIF information says SPCA1628, the processor is labeled SPCA1520A. The circuit board is labeled D006D-V3 which is similar to the #8 camera, so this is probably a variant of the #8. Ger has tried various ways to set the date time but with no success. 111201 - Ger in Spain sent me a sample video from his 808 camera which is a new version (not a better version). I am waiting for more information. Uses the SPCA1520A SPCA1628A SunPlus (iCatch) processor datasheet here http://wenku.baidu.com/view/e70cd269561252d380eb6eed.html?from=related Standard features include: 720x480 video, PCM audio, video date time stamp is yellow font on transparent background. New features include: SPCA1628A SPCA1520A processor The video date time stamp font is different than any other 808 version. For now that identifies it. The PCM audio is unlike any other 808: 11025Hz sample, 16 bit, 176 Kbps. Missing frame rate is high: about 50%. The video MJPEG codec data rate is about 1300 Kbps which is low. The AVI frame rate is 17.048 FPS, very strange. Some of these metrics might be better with outdoor lighting.
